Numerically obtained primitive solutions are presented for several cases with number of terms equal to or greater than powers. Further, geometric representations of solutions for the second and third power equations are devised by recasting the general equation in a form with rational solutions less than unity. Finally, it is suggested to consider negative and complex integers in seeking solutions to Diophantine forms in general.展开更多
Let a, b and c be fixed coprime positive integers. In this paper we prove that if a^2 + b^2 = c^3 and b is an odd prime, then the equation a^x + b^y = c^z has only the positive integer solution (x, y, z) = (2,2,3).
